X73 Since 1997, Vintech has been manufacturing quality pro audio equipment based on original classic designs that have become standards in the industry. The X73 is a single-channel microphone preamp/equalizer based on the venerable 1073 channel strip module, with the original circuit design, the same polystyrene capacitors and the same transformers, ensuring that the X73 sounds exactly like the old 1073...back in the day, when the Neve unit was brand spanking new!

But what is often overlooked in the X73 is the excellent EQ section which really allows you to "sculpt" a sound. This makes it an excellent choice for overdub studios who need to zero in on a sound quickly and don't want to waste time patching together a bunch of different input chain options for a session." Sean Wooldridge   "I did a blind test in a studio between the Vintech X73 and a vintage Neve 1073 and could not tell the difference. In a wallet test my wallet liked the Vintech better!" Maynard Madsen   "These reproductions of the classic Neve 1073 channel strips are spot on. Vintech paid attention to every detail, down to locating the original supplier for the transformers used in the vintage units to ensure that all of the coveted Neve magic is preserved. " David Klausner   "This is the perfect unit for anyone looking for the Neve sound, regardless of budget. Having come from working on classic Neve consoles as a tech, I feel these units are an unbeatable value!"
